But remember if you’re on jury selection, you don’t know what jury nullification is.

Who would know that you lied? There’s a reason “I do not recall” is a popular answer in court; The courts can’t prove that you remember something, because it’s entirely subjective. Without being mind readers, there’s no way for them to prove that you know something.

I guess it depends how far they wanted to go to investigate you. Theoretically they could try to find your social media history, etc.

Just remember that lie detectors are absolute bullshit pseudoscience, just like trained drug dogs.

you can say you show bias towards the case, by citing any reasons, you will get strike from the juror pool additionally, they dont even pay you well for your time, you can easily lose alot money a day for not working your job, in alot of places they can pay you a pittance of 5-15/day, in cali its 15 only a day.

You are meant to “nullify” silently.
